At&t Gone

[bdhowell]

Yesterday was the last day of AT&T's sponsorship of Spaceship Earth. Thank you for all the memories and we will miss you at EPCOT.

Has all the signs been taken down? And what about the narration, has it changed?

Maybe if they do change the narration, they'll take out that ANNOYING girl at the end... "May I have your attention please... GLOBAL NEIGHBORHOOD...blah blah blah".

I hated that they added that! Her high pitched voice totally took me out of any good mood from watching the ride. She's like the buzz kill of SE. :lol:

Hmmmmmm.....

With all the money they are saving now, I suppose they'll run right out and lower their long distance rates......


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[blm07]

I think AT&T is doing something bad with newsgroups servers for their internet customers now also...

 

[gjpjtj]

Will we even have the "Global Neighborhood" anymore??

(Not that I feel it would be a big loss. As long as not much changes on the ride!)

Nothing has changed so far, but signs will be down soon. They are not letting us know anything. :fork:

Dear mr. CDHowel,

We are sorry to inform you that AT&T did not prolong their sponsorship, regarding SpaceShip Earth.
Therefore we are glad to announce that Microsoft has taken over the sponsorship and we are going to rehab the whole ride, starting in 2005, into something quite different.


Yours sincerely,



Michael Eisner.

CEO Walt Disney Company...





LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL...

There you go!

Of course it will be open, even without a sponsor. Common speculation says that if Microsoft becomes the sponsor, and Disney decides to rehab the ride, then SE will close sometime in late? 2004. But next weekend, SE will be open, regardless of (lack of) sponsorship. You have nothing to worry about!

Can you imagine? That thing would be down more often than TT. "Please excuse the interruption while we reboot the ride." :hammer:
